The Kochi refinery's delayed coking unit will have the capacity to process 3.84 tpd of vacuum resid and small quantities of clarified oil from the FCC. The unit will be designed to produce sour fuel gas, LPG, naphtha, light and heavy gas oil, and petroleum coke. Lummus Technology will provide basic engineering.

The addition of the DCU to the Kochi refinery will support Bharat
Petroleum in expanding its crude processing capacity from 9.5
to 15.5 million tpy, add capability to process 100% high-
sulfur crudes and improve the yield of light and middle
distillates, the company says.
